define "a little bit of work"... r u talkin forged internals, racing cams, heads, turbo, and intercooler? only then would i believe that a 2.3L 4 cyl truck engine from 1989 would put out that much power. stock its like 100hp

The SVO Mustang 2.3 turbo engine with the intercooler can handle 21lbs of boost. I think it put out around 270 hp and some crazy tq numbers.

This is going to be one badass truck once done. I'd love to 2.3t my truck. Actually, plan on doing it at sometime in its life...

omgz dude. a 2.3t already has forged internals and a turbo. duh. and you only have one head. Guys put down easily 300hp out of a 2.3t, and you can do it all for under $2000.
